Another variation on the author's obsessive story of time, passing and travel, and of love for the forgotten, unofficial corners of Europe, tender towards everything broken, unwanted and pushed to the margins. Driving through Banja Luka among ruins, graves and minefields, looking for the road home, he thinks of Poland lying on her back between East and West, lazy and sleepy among birches and sand, gazing at the temptations of big cities, and he means to describe her, naming places like prayers and litanies, somewhere near Małkinia, somewhere near Bełżec.
